1 Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed February 18, 1908. Serial No, 416,525.

Patented June 8, 1909.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS J. CoRKEN, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Wilmerding, in the county of Allegheny and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inWindow-Fixtures, of which thefollowing is a specification, referencebeing had therein to the accompanying drawin This invention relates towindow tures and more particularly to a combined curtain pole and shaderoller support.

The primary object of my invention is to provide a novel fixture foradjustably supporting a curtain pole and shade roller.

Another object of my invention is to provide a simple, durable andinexpensive fixture that can be easily installed in connection With awindow frame for supporting curtains.

A further object of this invention is to obviate the necessity of usinga step ladder for removing a curtain pole or shade roller from a windowframe.

A still further object of this invention is to rovide a fixture that canbe easily manipulated to regulate the light admitted by a window.

With these and other objects in view, which will'more readily appear asthe invention is better understood, the same consists of a novelconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts to be presentlydescribed and then specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of myfixture. Fig. 2 is a lan of the same. Fig. 3 is a side elevation.

ig. 4 is a similar vlew partly in section. Fig. 5 is an enlarged endview of one of the frames forming part of my invention. Fig. 6 is aperspective view of a curtain pole clasp, and Fig. 7 is a erspectiveview of a portion of a curtain p0 e.

In the accompanying drawings 1 designates a window frame, provided withslotted brackets 2 for adjustable arms 3, these arms bein adjustedthrough the medium of revoluble eyelets 4. The arms 3 are provided withbearin s 5 for spring drum 6 having grooved pu eys or sheaves 7 at itsends, one of the said sheaves being provided with outwardly extendingpins or protuberances 8. Adapted to engage these pins is a pivoted dog9, carried by one of said bearings, the dog being manipulated by adepending cable 10. The object of this dog is to lock the spring drumfrom rotation. The spring drum is similar to an ordinary curtain shaderoller, wherein dogs 11 are employed for retaining the spring undertension.

Attached to the sheaves 7 and adapted to Wind thereon are belts or stras 12, these belts or straps carrying meta ic resilient clips 13, forsupporting a curtain pole 14. The clips 13 are provided withdiametrically opposed openings 15 to receive the ends of pins 16 mountedin the pole 14. The pole 14 can be provided with curtain rings 17 forsupporting curtains or drapery 18.

The window frame between the brackets 2 is provided with brackets 19 fora spring drum 20 having sheaves 21, similar to the sheaves 7. Theoperation of the spring drum 20 is controlled through the medium of adog 22 and the cable 23.

Attached to the sheaves 21 are belts or straps 24, these belts or strapsbeing attached to auxiliary brackets 25, slidably mounted upon guiderods 26, fixed to the window frame 1 in close proximity to the brackets19. The auxiliary brackets 25 supporting a shade roller 27 of aconventional form.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the drawings, itwill be observed that I have devised a novel fixture for adjustably suporting a curtain pole and curtain shade rol er, and while I have hereindescribed a preferred form of construction, I reserve the right to makesuch changes in my invention as are permissible by the appended claims.

Having now described my invention what I claim as new, is

1. The combination with a window frame 1 and a curtain pole providedwith a plurality of pins, of a pair of brackets secured to the frame, asprmg drum rotatably carried by said brackets, sheaves upon the drum,belts attached to said sheaves, and adapted to Wind thereon a claspconnected to eacli of the belts and provided with openingsada ted toreceive the pins on the pole where by longitudinal movement of the poleis prevented, and means for limiting the movement of said drum.

2. A curtain pole support comprising the construction with'a curtainpole, of a pair of adjustable brackets adapted to be fixed to a frame, aspring drum mounted in said brackets, sheaves carried by said drum, 5supportthe pole, and means for limiting belts attached to said sheavesand adapted the movement of said drum. 10 to Wind thereon, olaspscarried by said belts In testimony whereof I aflix my signature forconnecting the pole to the latter, said in the presence of twowitnesses.
